Butcher's Dark Wings. If the Wings Club were written by Jim Butcher and integrated into the Dresden Files universe, it would likely take on a darker and more ominous tone, as the Dresden Files series tends to deal with more mature themes and gritty storytelling. The premise of the Wings Club, a group of fairies attending a magical school, would remain the same, but the characters would be more complex and their relationships would be more nuanced. The protagonist, Bloom, would be a powerful fairy who struggles with her identity and the dark magic that resides within her. Butcher's writing style would lend itself to creating more intense and action-packed scenes, with the Wings Club members facing off against supernatural threats and dark forces. The magical world would be more intricately described, with Butcher's attention to detail bringing the world to life. Overall, the Wings Club series would have a more mature and gritty feel, blending elements of urban fantasy and the coming-of-age genre. Fans of the Dresden Files would enjoy the darker take on the magical school trope, while fans of the Wings Club would appreciate the more complex and nuanced characters.
I don't really understand the fandoms criticisms of the Law. I don't think short stories need to advance the story in any meaningful way. In fact, I think it's a bit counterproductive for casuals. I was so confused about some of the story points after Changes because I hadn't read the short stories at that point. It took me a while to understand what the Fomors were and who all the new people from Peace Talk were. I also think that The Law wanted to show how Chigaco and its residents have changed, while also telling a more low-key story. Harry will definitely have to debrief the President or other high ranking government officials in the future. If I remember correctly, Battle Ground foreshadowed that by introducing a special FBI unit that will investigate the attack on the Titans. The ending was definitely one of the funniest moments along with the donut wish and Murphy's reaction to the parasite. xD Have you caught up on the other short stories that have come out in the meantime? I don't want to buy multiple anthologies for one short story each, so I'll probably wait for a new collection or try to find them in libraries, but at least the microfictions are free. The microfictions about Morgan and the Archive were really insightful and sad.
Also the first short story we can see (and Kringle) that she is not like others winters ladies, probably a Dresden influence and that will repercute in the future. Have not read the one in Heroic hearts yet and the Law I purchase the book but will not arrive until way later, but it sound like a good Harry short story. YES! review the graphic novels, they are great! and really well made. And I agree, graphic novels of the books will be great.
Very good point about Molly not being like other Winter ladies! and you're right it was important enough for Kringle to even point it out. I was concerned with what would happen to her after that one short with her and Carlos. Hopefully Dresden (or something) is having an influence on her
know you like great Fantasy Box like Jim butchers draston files or Kevin hurns I and do it Chronicles or Helmut reddergers John Sinclair stories I can only recommend this series of books Fated: 1 (An Alex Verus Novel) this is just book one i hope you like it
So I was gonna ask could you make a list of fantasy (modern or not) suggestions or favorites which I’d still love to hear but clearly I need to read the Dresden files before I even finish this. Because it sounds like my jam.
I’ve read a lot more horror/thriller then fantasy. And I’ve determined while I like the occasional high fantasy, urban fantasy is my thing (but I have not read much of it yet) The Dresden files is my all time favourite series and I recommend it to everyone! For some it takes a while to get going but I was obsessed from book 1 and it’s only getting better on reread :)

I love this series and I’ll be listening through your perspectives on the books
Toot has been there since the beginning 😂.
In my opinion, Worldbuilding (IE stories that don't push forward the narrative) are just as important and awesome as the main books.
